Jeremiah 1:13-15
New King James Version
13 And the word of the Lord came to me the second time, saying, “What do you see?”
And I said, “I see (A)a boiling pot, and it is facing away from the north.”
14 Then the Lord said to me:
“Out of the (B)north calamity shall break forth
On all the inhabitants of the land.
15 For behold, I am (C)calling
All the families of the kingdoms of the north,” says the Lord;
“They shall come and (D)each one set his throne
At the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem,
Against all its walls all around,
And against all the cities of Judah.
Jeremiah 6:1

Impending Destruction from the North
6 “O you children of Benjamin,
Gather yourselves to flee from the midst of Jerusalem!
Blow the trumpet in Tekoa,
And set up a signal-fire in (A)Beth Haccerem;
(B)For disaster appears out of the north,
And great destruction.
Jeremiah 6:22

22 Thus says the Lord:
“Behold, a people comes from the (A)north country,
And a great nation will be raised from the farthest parts of the earth.
Jeremiah 50:17
New King James Version
17 “Israel is like (A)scattered sheep;
(B)The lions have driven him away.
First (C)the king of Assyria devoured him;
Now at last this (D)Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has broken his bones.”
